ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The acreage, yield, production, monthly, and season average value, and crop value statistics In this bulletin are official State and USDA estimates prepared by the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. The county and area detail in these statis- tics were made possible by the participation of the Department of Agricultural Ec- onomics, University of Florida, in the estimating program. Market price quota- tions and shipment statistics are from the Market News Section and the USDA Con- sumer and Marketing Service.

Agencies in the Florida Department of Agriculture providing basic data used in developing statistics in this summary include the Road Guard Section, Division of Inspection; State Markets Section, Florida Celery Committee, and Sweet Corn Advisory Committee, Division of Marketing, the Plant Inspection Section, Division of Plant Industry and the South Florida Vegetable Exchange. County Agents of Flor- ida's Agricultural Extension Service were very helpful in supplying information on vegetable production in their counties.

Growers, shippers, processors, sales agencies, and transportation firms voluntarily supplied much of the data used in developing these official statistics. This public spirited cooperation is appreciated.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

This bulletin contains detailed data on acreage, yield and production for only the past 3 seasons. Prior years can be obtained from the 1969 or earlier bulletins.

A change in the definitions of harvested acreage, yield and production is the reason for the short series. Accurate estimates of acreage actually abandoned and re- duced yields due to low prices or other economic factors are difficult to prepare. Quantity actually sold has the greatest significance, therefore, this is now the basis for yield and production estimates. Estimates of economic abandonment will still be made but entered in footnotes.

In the 3-year series harvested acreage, yield and production relate only to production actually marketed. Estimates for the earlier vears in this series will be re- vised and included in a future publication. Those needing comparable historic production data can obtain them from columns labeled "quantity sold" in earlier publications.

SEASONAL GROUPS Seasonal estimates are made for most of Florida's vegetable, melon, potato, and straw- berry crops to show supplies for a shorter period of time than the entire marketing season. The seasonal classifi- cation used for each of Florida' s crops is shown on the ad- jacent page along with usual planting and harvesting dates.

PLANTED ACREAGE is the total acreage which has been planted for harvest during one designated season. To avoid duplication, acreage lost and replanted to the same crop in time for harvest, in the same season.is count- ed only once.

HARVESTED ACREAGE is the acreage actually harvested or partially harvested. Acreage lost before or at maturity through natural causes is not included in the acreage for harvest.

YIELD is the average production of merchantable quality harvested and sold or utilized per acre.

PRODUCTION includes the quantity actually har- vested and sold or utilized.

ECONOMIC ABANDONMENT is thai portion of the crop that reached maturity and was of merchantable quality but was not harvested because of labor shortages, low prices or other economic factors, or if harvested, was not sold or utilized for those reasons.

UNIT VA LUE for production sold on the fresh mar- ket represents the F. O. B. price received or its equivalent for all grades and quality of the commodity including sell- ing charges. Unit value for quantities sold to processors represent prices paid on a delivered to the processing plant door basis and includes transportation cost. etc.

TOTAL VALUE is the value of production sold. It excludes economic abandonment, cullage, and any portion of a crop not harvested.

RAIL - TRUCK shipments are included in the straight rail shipments shown for each crop.

RAIL LOAD FACTORS Represents the average number of packages per rail car based on tabulation of way-bills in prior years showing the contents of each car.

MLXED CARS (RAIL) Loadings by stations are pro-rated by commodities reported and tabulated in recent years. About 2 percent of the total equivalent carlots of vegetables and potatoes moved in this category in 1969-70.

TRUCK SHIPMENTS are converted to equivalent carlots on the basis of a predetermined load factor. A minor difference of carlot equivalents in the season total obtained by adding the monthly or weekly shipments may exist because of rounding.

PRODUCTION AND PRICE UNIT -- The official USDA vegetable crop estimates are published on a weigh! basis. For this bulletin, the official estimates for most vegetable crops have been converted to the most commonly used container. The following table gives the net weighi used per container and the number of containers per hun- dredweight.

SUMMARY OF THE 1969-70 VEGETABLE SEASON

The value of Florida grown vegetables, melons, :atoes, and strawberries at $256, 857, 000 was down 9 percent from that of the previous season. Productionfrom the 408, 650 acres planted was down 15 percent. Some commodities were in very light supply at certain times of the year. Since the planted acreage was down less than one percent, the reason for the lighter production had to be attributed to other forces. Loss of acreage was greater in 1969-70 than the previous year. The 364, 345 acres es- timated harvested compared with 375,410 the previous year.

Tomatoes continued to lead all other items in value of production; yet this crop's total value was nearly 30 percent less than the crop of the previous season. Acre- age harvested for fresh market was almost the same as the previous year. However, production was down 24 per- cent and the average price received per unit was 8 percent less than the previous season.

Other commodities, normally abundant, were so scarce at times that some all-time highs in per-unit price were received. These highlights can be observed more readily from the data summarized in this bulletin regard- ing these various commodities.

Economic factors of planning the crop financial arrangements, varieties to be planted, etc. were of necessity made preliminary to the actual planting opera- tion. Land preparation was often well in advance of actual seeding. Seedbeds went in for planting the new season's crop before harvest for the prior season was complete. Celery and eggplant seedbeds, in particular, were planted for late July and early August transplanting. By Septem- ber 1, 964 acres of celery were reported transplanted, compared to 1,228 acresthe previous season; 5, 330 acres of sweet corn had been planted, compared to 4, 750 acres the previous season; and 10, 750 acres of tomatoes had been planted, compared with 11,210 in 1968. Most fall pepper and eggplant had also been planted.

Since weather is such a controlling factor of vege- table production, a resume of the highlights is presented. Cold, wet weather characterized the 1969-70 fall-winter season. The 58 cold nights (minimum temperatures 36°F or lower) in the Peninsula were exceeded only in 8 pervious seasons. Abnormally cold temperatures and above normal rainfall combined to adversely affect agricultural pro- duction during most of the fall-winter season. Rainfall was exceptionally heavy during September and October.

Temperatures averaged 3 to 4 degrees below sea- sonal normal throughout peninsular Florida during Novem- ber. Frost or freezing temperatures occurred over North and Central Interior districts on the 15th and 16th. The ielow-normal trend continued with December averaging

3 to 5 degrees below normal throughout the Peninsula. Rainfall, however, was generally 2 to 4 degrees above normal over North and Central districts and nearly 2 inches above in the Everglades. The Lower East Coast was 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches below normal. Growth of crops continued to be retarded.

In January an outbreak of artic air on the 7th en- gulfed the State and brought four mornings of freezing temperatures to most distr icts. Long durations of temper- atures of 23°Fand lower caused tender vegetables to suffer significant damage, heaviest of which occurred on the mornings of the 10th and 11th. Cold weather persisted the remainder of January such that averages were 4 to 8 de- grees below the seasonal normal. Rainfall again exceeded normal with amounts up to 2 inches above the monthly norm.

February was also cold and wet. Scattered frost occurred over North and Central districts on the 4th, 5th and 27th. Rainfall was 2 to 5 inches above normal in the Northern districts, 3 inches above normal Central, and near 1 inch above normal Southern districts.

The final frost of the season occurred on the 15th of March. Rainfall during March ranged nearly 5 inches above normal over the Peninsula. An area generally from Punta Gorda-Naples on the southwest Coast to Stuart and Ft. Lauderdale on the east coast, received abnormally heavy rainfall during the 3-day period of March 25-28. Rainfall amounts ranged from 12 to 18 inches and adversely affected agricultural production. Some losses were very heavy, particularyly in Ft. Myers potatoes.

April through mid-May was a period of six consec- utive weeks with little or no rain. The drouth was broken with shower activity starting May 17, bringing needed rain- fall to South and Central Florida areas. The rainy season for South Florida and Central areas continued, with the drouth breaking in the extreme west Panhandle the last week of May with Pensacola reporting 5 inches of rain.

Shower}' weather prevailed the first week of June. Rainfall totals were generally 1-1/2 to 3 inches, except excessive amounts were again received in the Panhandle. Pensacola reported 14-1/2 inches, and over 20 inches was reported unofficially in some areas of West Florida; how- ever, these areas were not heavy producers of spring vegetables.

Production of vegetables in Florida has reached the point where some phase of activity is underway throughout the year.

Data on temperatures and rainfall were supplied by ESSA and the Frost Warning Service.

SNAP BEANS 1969-70

Florida produced an estimated 3,296,000 bushels of bush and pole beans for fresh market during the 1969-70 season. This was somewhat below the 4,391,000 bushels produced the previous crop year. The smaller production soldvery well and averaged $5. 09 per bushel, an increase of 31 percent over the previous year's average.

To prevent disclosure of major contractor or firm's acreages of beans utilized in processing, that portion of the crop is not published.

Southeast Florida is traditionally the principal area of bush and pole bean production. This was again true. Bush beans grown in Broward and Palm Beach Counties accounted for 49 percent of the 1969-70 production. In Dade County 1 , 131 , 000 bushels of pole beans were harvested from 4 , 990 acres,making this the outstanding area of pole bean produc- tion for the State.

Early harvest of Gadsden County pole beans was in- terrupted by heavy rainfall in late September. Although damage was general, light supplies continued until mid- No- vember. Seeding of pole beans began in early September in the Dade County area. Harvest began in late October and continued until May. Strong wind whipped vines and cold

weather retarded growth during the midwinter months. Volume was light until mid-March and then began to crease.

Harvest of bush beans got underway in North and West Florida about mid-October. After mid- December harvest was confined to the Lower East Coast until spring. Freezing temperatures, January 10-11 didgeneral damage to the winter crop. Some locations of the Dade-Pompa.': area reported 32 degrees or less for ten hours. Heavy rc in- fall plagued the area through its early growing period. The winter crop never really recovered and supplies were very light during January, February and into March. By thee- d of April , spring harvestwas getting underway in Central a id North producing areas .

Volume supplies continued into late May, then de- clined until harvest was completed in late June.

Mechanical harvesting of bush varieties has become increasingly popular the past several years. It is now eco- nomically possible to harvest fields which could not be har- vested by hand. This generally reduced loss of acreage and also reduced yields.

CABBAGE 1969-70

A record- setting $15,927,000 crop of Florida cabbage was sold during the 1969-70 season, an increase of 38 percent over that of the previous season. Production at 5,846,000 equivalent bags and crates was no record, being 28 percent less than that of the previous season. Yields were down rather sharply from those of the more recent years. The 350-bag/crate yield was the first below 420 in the last 5 years. Hybrid seed has been credited with producing higher yields per acre.

Last season's low yield was due to excessive rain during much of the earlier growing period, particularly September and October, coupled with low temperatures of long duration January 8-11, and subsequent but less severe weather later. Root systems were damaged by the early rains, and weakened plants became susceptible to disease. Head size was generally smaller than desired. Black rot was prevalent in heads in many areas, and in combination with the small size, reduced production to the 350-crate average yield.

Hastings led all areas in acreage planted. (account- ing for 48 percent of the planted acreage^as well as in pro- duction. North Central plantings made up 24 percent of the total planted. Production was even less, estimated at 21

percent of the State total. Planting by both seeding and transplanting continued later in the season than in other areas. Cabbage was set as late as March 10, with possibly a few acres being set later. Yields for the North Central area were below the State average.

West Central yields were variable. Manatee County yields topped all counties of the State. Quality was gener- ally very good.

The Everglades muckland acreage was seeded and some acreage transplanted as crops were thinned. There has been a considerable exodus into nearby sandland soils in the more recent years for improved quality. Much of the nearby sand production is marketed through Everglades area sales outlets.

Shipments were heaviest in March and April. Prices declined in April and continued at the lower level during much of May.

The 1969-70 cabbage producing season exemplifies an economic axiom of supply and demand. Less acreage planted (7 percent), lower yield (24 percent), less pro- duction marketed (28 percent), sold for 38 percent more money, compared to the 1968-69 producing season.

CANTALOUPS 1969-70

Florida's cantaloup production was estimated to have increased 17 percent over that of the previous year. Acres harvested remained the same as the previous season at 1,200 acres. Yields increased to 70 hundredweight per acre from 60 lastyear. Total cropvalue increased 4 per- cent to 8571,000. Value per unit decreased almost 11 per- cent from the S 7. 80 of the previous season to S6. 80 in 1970.

North Florida produced 33 percent of the total crop

on 33 percent of the harvested acres. The Southwest sector produced 20 percent of the crop.

Rain occurring late in May caused some damage in the Ft. Myers-Tmm okalee and West Central areas. How- ever, this rain was- very beneficial to the North Florida crop. Harvest was complete in the Ft. Myers -Imm okalee area in late June and continued into J11I3' in North Florida.

CELERY 1969-70

The gross value of Florida celery during 1969-70 was $24,952,000 compared to $24,986,000 the previous year. The average value per crate was $3. 73 for the 1969-70 season, an increase of 43 cents from the 1968-69 average. Growers planted 12,900 acres compared to 12, 800 the previous year.

This crop was grown exclusively in three areas. The Everglades was the principal area of production. Sup- plies were available from early November through mid- June. The other producing areas were Central Florida and Sarasota. Cutting began at Zellwood in early Novem- ber and was terminated in late December. Harvest started again in mid-April and continued into June. The sandland crop at Sanford was harvested primarily during February and March. Harvest from Oviedo mucklands started in mid-January and continued through June. Harvest at Sar- asota was primarily during January, February and March,

but light production continued through May. Celery in the Island Grove area is grown in the muckland soils of Alachua County. A small planted acreage for the 1969-70 season in this area was lost when a dike broke and flooded the fields. Planting was not resumed during the season.

All celery passed was lost due to natural causes and had been planted to harvest during the spring season. Most losses are attributed to cold temperatures during the midwinter months which caused premature bolting. Ex- cessive rain during the spring also resulted in some loss of acreage.

The Florida Fresh Fruit Exchange administers the celery marketing order. Their field supervisors provided planting, harvesting and production data. In cooperation, S. R. S. assembled these data into weekly and monthly re- ports to the participating industry.

Florida growers marketed 9,388,000 crates of sweet corn during the 1969-70 season. This was a 10 per- cent decrease from the 10,426 , 000 crates marketed the pre- vious year. However, the value of sales for the 1969-70 season only increased to $26,868,000, less than one per- cent more than the $26,660,000 value of the 1968-69 sea- son's production. The average value per crate was $2. 86 compared to $2. 56 the previous crop year. -

Of the 65,400 acres planted, 56,900 acres were harvested. This is 1 percent more planted and harvested than the previous crop year.

The crop for fall harvest was grown almost exclu- sively in the Everglades muckland. Planting began in Au- gust. Although almost daily showers did moderate damage, harvest got underway October 9. Unharvested plantings sustained frostburn the last of November but a moderate supply was available until January 10- 11 , when below freez- ing temperatures of 7 to 13 hours duration severely damaged the remainder with most of it a complete loss.

Winter supplies came primarily from the Pompano and Dade County areas. Damage from the early January freeze was extensive in these areas also. Mostwinter sup- plies from the Ft. Myers-Immokalee areas were salvaged for local market.

The Everglades area came into spring harvest in mid-April with supplies through most of June. Recurring spring rains made spray programs hard to maintain. Some fields were completely lost.

Seeding started at Zellwood in early March. Har- vest started in late May. Volume supplies were available most of June. Seasonal rains were adversely affective with some acreage never harvested.

Other minor producing areas are located in West Central, North and extreme West Florida. Harvest from these areas was in the spring months . County acreages are not shown as this would constitute a disclosure of individual operations .

CUCUMBERS 1969-70

Florida fresh cucumber production decreased to 2,610,000 bushels during the 1969-70 season, down 7 per- cent from that of 1968-69. Harvested acres were down nearly 12 percent, but yields increased 5 percent. Value per unit averaged $3. 93 per bushel and the total crop value was $10,249,000. This is a sharp decline of 16 percent be- low value of production the previous season.

Cucumbers are especially adaptable to Florida's sandy soils and are grown in all the vegetable areas except the mucklands. The southwest counties, or the Ft. Myers - Immokalee area, grew 39 percent of the State's harvested acreage. About 23 percent of the production came from this area. The West Central area (mainly Wauchula) grew nearly 20 percent of the harvested acreage and produced 33 percent of the State's production.

Early fall harvest started in September. Light sup- plies continued until January. Shipments from early Jan- uary until mid- April were mostly imports. Heavy rains in September and October adversely affected the fall crop in many areas. Cold winds in November lowered plant con- dition in the Ft. Myers -Immokalee area. Harvest of the spring crop began in April. Supplies were heaviest from late April until early June. The North and North Central areas were in declining supply through June. These areas grew both fall and spring table stock and pickles.

Pickles moved into fresh (O'nite dill) channels and into regular pickle processing. Pickle cucumbers (other than O'nite dill) are estimated separately and are excluded from these data, but are included in miscellaneous vege- tables.

EGGPLANT 1969-70

Florida's eggplant production decreased 22 percent from the previous crop year to 752,000 bushels. Yields decreased to 376 bushels per acre from the 437 of the pre- vious crop year. The average value per bushel at $3. 62 with the decreased production reduced the total value of sales 16 percent to $2,722,000.

Eggplant was shipped from Florida every month of the 1969-70 season with peak movement in November and June. The heaviest volume came from the Pompano area with lesser quantities, fall and spring, from other areas. Imports moving through Florida channels were reported during January, February and March. These are included in the table showing distribution of recorded shipments from Florida.

Harvest of "eggs" in the Webster area was under- way in September. Most other areas beganharvest in Oc- tober. Fall "eggs" were in good, steady supply from

early November until early February. Spring "eggs" were in good supply from mid-April through June.

Adverse weather in late September and early Octo- ber caused root damage to plants in the Pompano and North Central areas. The freeze of January 10-11 burned fruit and top foliage on plants in the Pompano area. In the Ft. Myers-Immokalee area, a small acreage was completely killed. Seedbeds in the West Central area sustained rather heavy losses.

The Pompano area is the only source of Florida winter supplies. A considerable amount of winter acreage in this area was abandoned because of poor market. Im- ports into the U. S. have increased sharply. Harvest of spring "eggs" was activated northward from Pompano into the Wauchula, Plant City, North and North Central areas, respectively, as crops in these areas matured.

ESCAROLE 1969-70

Escarole and chicory (endive) production in Florida during the 1969-70 season was estimated at 3, 168, 000 crates compared with 3,212,000 the previous year. The 8, 100 acres planted was 100 acres more than the 1968-69 season. Average FOB value per crate was $1. 72 of $0. 11 below the previous year.

Escarole and chicory were again grown primarily in muck soils. Harvest began in late October and continued into June. March and April are usually peak months of shipments, but were relatively steady November through May in 1969-70. The Everglades was the principal source of supply with 72 percent of the planted acreage and 75 percent of the State's production. Seeding began in early September. By early October thinning of oldest plantings was underway. Light harvest began in late October. Rain

during the fall months interrupted harvest and made plant- ing and spray programs hard to maintain. January's cold temperatures did only minor damage, mostly limited to leaf tip burn. Rain again in March damaged the crop and lowered quality. A seasonal decline in supply began in late April but light harvest continued through May.

Zellwood is the second area of importance in pro- duction with two periods of heavy supply. The first period began in late October and started to decline in early De- cember. The second period of heavy production began in early April, increased to volume by late April and con- tinued into June. Some acreage was planted on the warmer sandland between muck pockets, attempting to insure con- tinuous supplies.

LETTUCE 1969-70

Florida lettuce production during the 1969-70 sea- son was estimated at 392, 000 hundredweight compared to 414,000 the previous season. The 7, 400 acres planted was a 34 percent increase over the previous year. However, only 4,400 acres were harvested compared to 4,700 for the 1968-69 season. Production was valued at $2, 995, 000. Nearly 69 percent of the crop was planted in the Everglades, 13 percent inNorth Central and 12 percent in West Central areas.

Heavy production was in Romaine lettuce followed by Boston, Iceberg, leaf lettuce and Bibb. Consumption ithin the State was heavy, especially Iceberg and Bibb varieties.

Most muckland areas were seeded direct to the field and thinned to a normal stand at the proper stage of growth. Seeding was underway in the Everglades, Lake Placid, Sarasota, and Zellwood in September. Harvest got underway in early November with a relative steady supply through mid-May. Shipments were highest during

February and March. Recurring rain in the fall and again in the spring resulted inheavy loss of acreage in all areas. This was especially true in the Everglades. Although the crop is susceptible to extremes in temperature, the Jan- uary freeze caused only moderate damage, mostly confined to leaf tip burn, even though temperatures were below freezing from 7 to 13 hours.

Supplies from the Everglades were distributed over most of the entire season. Zellwood and other North Cen- tral areas have two heavy periods of production. The first period extended from late November through mid-Decem- ber; the second period of production was from mid-April through May. A light supply was available during mid- season primarily from the warmer sandlands. Iceberg, and limited amounts of Boston and Romaine were grown at Sanford-Samsula. Light supplies of Romaine were grown at Oviedo. Sarasota and Lake Placid grew various vari- eties and harvested over an extended period from Decem- ber through April.

GREEN PEPPERS 1969-70

Florida's green pepper crop was estimated at 3,065,000 bushels, down 46 percent from the 5,679,000 bushels produced during the previous season. The 15,700 acres planted were 2,200 acres less than the 1968-69 acreage. Prices increased to record highs. The value of production at $19, 164, 000 was down only 9 percent from that of 1968-69. The Lower East Coast counties - Broward, Martin, and Palm Beach East-grew nearly 27 percent of the total production. The southwestern counties grew 36 per- cent of the total production. Central and North Florida grew the balance. .

Harvest began in late October in the more northern areas and in early November in the more southern areas. Fall shipments were at a peak in late December. Sub- freezing temperatures, with frost, January 10-ll,followed by rather heavy mid-January rain, severely damaged plants in the Pompano-Martin and Ft. Myers-Immokalee areas. Seedbeds in the Central Florida area sustained heavy losses. Mosaic began to infest these weakened plants in the Pompano-Martin area in late February. By mid-March, the problem was serious enough to force some acreage into abandonment.

Seeding began in August and was heavy through September in most areas. Central Florida had a small transplanted acreage. Spot resetting was active in late September to replace those plants damaged by hot weather and heavy rains. More heavy rains and strong winds dur- ing late October severely damaged plants in the Ft. Myers- Immokalee area and more heavily in the Pompano-Martin area. Ruffed foliage, leaf burn, some fruit scarring, washed beds, and exposed roots resulted from this adverse weather.

Shipments were reduced during February, March and April to a very, very, low figure. The 624 carlot equivalents reported was only 19 percent of the same 3- month period of the previous year. March shipments were down to 98 carlots-only 8 percent as much as was shipped in March 1969. These low shipments closely approached those for February - April 1958. Prices of good pepper climbed to record high levels. Supplies increased in early May to peak for the crop year from mid-May to mid-June. Peak production for spring occurred in late May and early June.

POTATOES 1969-70

Production of Florida Irish potatoes during the 1970 winter-spring season at an estimated 5,936,000 hundred- weight was down 18 percent from the 1969 crop, but sold for $23,055,000, 2-1/2 percent more than the larger 1969 crop.

Plantings were in three seasonal groupings: winter; spring-Hastings; and spring-" Other". Harvest was over a period from mid-December into June. Total acreage was 37,700 planted and 36,700 harvested, a reduction of 10 and 9 percent, respectively.

The winter acreage was grown in South Florida areas with no definite break in the planting period. Ap- proximately two-thirds of the crop was planted to red- skinned varieties. Dade County, largest producer of win- ter potatoes, planted and harvested 7, 700 acres. Recurring heavy fall rains deterred planting. Cold winds of January 8-11 damaged foliage extensively, but left stems and buds in fair condition. Recovery was excellent, but wind was adversely affective again in early February. Harvest started about March 1, and was completed by early May. Yields reflected the adverse weather.

The earliest potatoes harvestedwere in December in the Everglades. Mainly "reds" were available. Next "reds" available were at Ft. Myers. After these were

harvested, a very heavy rainfall flooded fields of "whites" and ruined beyond salvage about 700 acres in the area.

Hastings spring crop was planted heavily during January and the first half of February primarily to "whites" for chipping. An estimated 93 percent of the acreage was planted to white-skinned varieties. Late planting and slow growth permitted only about 3 percent of the production to be harvested in April. However, by June 15 it was practi- cally complete. The highest yield in the Tri-County area was in Flagler County. The close-in Hastings area prob- ably produced a better than normal percentage of the St. Johns County tonnage.

"Other" spring areas were widely scattered. The biggest concentration of acreage was in Hillsborough County. Harvest was active in April, May and June. About 700 acres of "whites" and 1,300 "reds" were grown in "other" spring areas.

Prices during the winter season at $5. 02 averaged higher than any season of the prior 10-year period,except 1965 when the average was $5. 50. Hastings sales, FOB level, averaged closer to contract chip stock or $3. 40, but "other" spring production sold higher, due to more of the crop being marketed as table stock "reds". A good portion of the "other" springwhites were early and had a stronger price structure.

SPINACH FOR PROCESSING 1970

Spinach for processing is grown in the mucklands of Orange and Lake Counties. The 1970 planted acreage increased to 1,900 from 1,300 the previous year. The 5, 700 tons useable spinach delivered toplants was 35 per- cent less than the previous season. Excessive rains and early January sub-freezing temperatures drastically re-

duced yields with some acreage a complete loss.

The value per unit is based on useable spinach de- livered to the processing plant. Utilization is mainly by plants located in the southeastern states.

SQUASH 1969-70

Florida growers produced 1,103,000 bushels of squash from 8,400 acres harvested. The 9,400 acres planted was 1,200 more than the previous year. Because of the low yield, 131 bushels per acre, the higher harvested acreage produced 20 percent less than the 1968-69 season. Total value at $5, 602 , 000 was 11 percent less than the pre- vious year's $6,261,000. The average value per bushel of $5. 08 was 51 cents more than the previous season average, highest in the 1958-59 to 1969-70 period. Shipments were recorded for eachmonth throughout the season, September 1969 to early August 1970. Distribution during December reached 14 percent of the total but dropped, because of the adverse January weather, until April-May. During this two -month period, 40 percentof the total cropwas shipped. The southern portion of the State accounted for 68 percent

of the harvested acreage and 74 percent of the total produc- tion.

Dade County retained its title as the major squash producing area in Florida. Yellow crooknecks (YCN) was by far the dominant variety planted there. A county total of 439,000 bushels, 40 percent of the total crop was har- vested in this area.

Spring seeding started in late February in the Cen- tral areas. Harvest began in April in the Plant City area and progressed northward as various varieties matured. Some out-of-State shipments were recorded as late as early August this season. The July-August production was mostly for local markets.

Florida produced acorn, butternut, yellow crook- neck, yellow straightneck, white and zucchini varieties.

STRAWBERRIES 1969-70

Production of Florida strawberries was off 10 per- cent from the previous year. This decreased production was from an increased harvested acreage that totaled 1, 800 acres, nearly 13 percent more than the 1, 600 acres har- vested last season. The yield of 781 flats per acre was a decrease of nearly 20 percent from the 1968-69 season.

An estimated 34 percent of the production came from the Hillsborough County area and 36 percent came from the Lower East Coast. The rest is grown in other

areas of Central Florida and in North Florida. Shipme./ in February accounted for 18. 0 percent of the total and c. March,67. 8 percent.

Transplanting was nearly complete in all areas by mid-November. Shipment of berries began in late Dece.ii- ber. Supplies were available earlier for local market The heaviest production occurred between early March and early April. By May, most fields remaining in production had berries available on a "U-pick" basis.

TOMATOES 1969-70

Florida growers marketed an estimated 11, 595, 000 equivalent 40-pound crates of fresh tomatoes from 47,400 harvested acres. The FOB price averaged $4. 89 per 40- pound crate. An estimated 1, 623, 000 equivalent 40-pound crates, utilized by processors, averaged $0. 66 per crate delivered to the canning plant. The total value of the crop at $57, 823,000 dropped 29 percent below that of the pre- vious year. This is the lowest value for the combined fresh and processing tomato crop since the 1962-63 sea- son's $54,445,000 crop. The estimated fresh market yield of 245 equivalent 40-pound crates is the lowest aver- age in any season of the 1958-59 to 1969-70 period.

During 1969-70 it was virtually impossible to keep track of the actual method of harvest of tomatoes grown on ground and those grown on stakes, whether picked mature green or vine-ripe. Therefore, no attempt was made to estimate sales of vine-ripe and mature greens separately. Acreage was designated by cultural practice, either staked or ground. Fresh market production from staked tomatoes amounted to 2, 017, 000 equivalent 40-pound crates. Pro- ductionfrom ground tomatoes was 9, 578, 000 equivalent 40- pound crates.

The 1969-70 harvest season got underway in late October and early November in all major production areas. Excessive soil moisture and strong winds plagued most producers during the fall growing period. Throughout the year, plant and fruit development was delayed at crucial stages. In the fall and winter seasons, many fields of ground culture tomatoes were picked only once or twice, instead of the normally 3-plus times, because of generally' adverse weather. The main source of winter tomatoes was from Dade County's ground culture crop and the lower coastal areas' staked culture crops. Sub -freezing temper- atures January 10-11 and the rains following caused con- siderable bloom and fruit drop, and foliage burn. Strong, cold winds were recurring and greatly lowered yields. Plant failure to recover completely during February and March resulted in greatly reduced winter production.

Spring crop yields were quite low as plants incurred heavywater damage during developmental stages. Distri- bution of shipments for the months of May and June com- bined into the largest percentages of the total in the last four years, an indication of the lateness of the season.

Harvest for processing (canning) continued when fresh market harvest terminated.

WATERMELONS 1969-70

During the 1970 season, Florida growers marketed an estimated 6,888,000 hundredweight of watermelons, only 1 percent less than the quantity sold the previous year. However, the total value of $13,914,000 was 20 percent less than that of 1968-69. Harvested acreage dropped 11 percent from the previous season. The Ft. Myers-Immok- alee area produced only 17 percent of the 1970 crop. This area marketed 34 percent during the 1969 season. North and Central areas accounted for about 50 percent of the planted acreage. Production in these areas jumped from 36 percent during 1969 to 56 percent in 1970.

The southwestern area, which normally starts ear- liest harvest and captures the highest melon market,was set back time after time last season. December planting conditions were very favorable and many good stands were

up by early January. Adverse weather in January, strong winds in February, and flooding rains in March caused much replanting and delayed maturing of the crop. Har- vest which usually starts in April did not begin until early May. Even then, the harvest was limited by rains and the progressive maturity of melons in central and northern areas.

West Florida planted its crop nearly two weeks late because of wet soils. Harvest continued well into July in this area.

Shipments during June and July were 77 percent of the total. The generally later harvest period for Florida accounts in part for the lower than previous year's average price per hundredweight, when nearly 40 percent of the production was harvested in April and May.

ECONOMIC ABANDONMENT

Prior to 1969, vegetable and melon production in- cluded quantities not sold because of low prices, lack of transportation, shortage of labor and other economic factors. The Department has changed its definition of pro- duction and now reports in yield and production estimates only the quantities sold. Listed below are additional quan- ities which were abandoned due to economic factors during the 1967 through 1970 seasons:

1. Snap Beans: 1968 Spring - 127, 000 bushels

2. Celery: 1967 Winter - 703, 000 crates

Spring - 310,000 crates 1968 Winter - 157, 000 crates

There are some crops such as watermelons and to- matoes which are seldom completely utilized. These com- modities are estimated solely on the basis of quantities sold, and no attempt is made to classify unharvested pro- duction as economic abandonment.

Potatoes continue to be estimated on both a total production and production actually utilized basis. How- ever, in Florida there is seldom economic abandonment in potatoes.

Celery (cont'd) 1968 Spring - 429,000 crates 1969 Spring - 213,000 crates

3. Sweet Corn: 1969 Spring - 117,000 crates

4. Escarole: 1968 Winter - 160, 000 crates
